| In Xlib, the title bar and the resize icon are window properties: "wm
hints", "dec wm hints", etc. They are documented in the customer
documentation. In VMS, in the Xlib reference in the chapter on
Property Routines.
Few examples exist for the manipulation of the properties directly in
Xlib since most programmers are using the toolkit (ie "Xt routines")
which simplify the manipulation of window manager decoration greatly.

| What is a customer documentation?
I couldn't find any thing concerning WmSetDEC...() reoutines in my XLib
reference manual. Could you tell me where to find it?
Thanx in advance

| I don't believe there's a tidy interface for changing the DEC
properties, see DECWMHints.h and VendorP.h in DECW$INCLUDE: for the
data structures.
XSetStandardProperties and XSetWMHints are the interface for the
non-DEC, ie X-defined properties.
Properties are manipulated with XGetWindowProperty and XChangeProperty.
These are not simple routines to use correctly.
Warning: with the adoption of the inter-client communications
conventions manual (what people here call ICCCM) and X11 R4, there's
been substantial changes to this area of X and DECwindows.
If this is question for your personal learning, then go for it. If
this is a problem for a customer, then you might accelerate the
solution by telling us what you are trying to accomplish.

| For an example of setting DEC window manager properties without
using the toolkit, see my recent note in SUBWAY::MOTIF on
setting the iconifyPixmap. Also, you may want to look at
several other recent notes on issues involving supporting
ICCCM window managers and the DEC window manager.

| Also see note #34.... they are just code examples of
what X calls to make to what properties.
I believe in the example you will want to allocate memory
for the DECWmHints structure (even though its not in the
example itself)
